When to go to Bonaire?
Located off the coast of Venezuela, Bonaire enjoys a rather dry and particularly warm climate. Together with its neighbours, Aruba and Curaçao, it is one of the sunniest islands in the Caribbean. It has a very short rain season which lasts from the month of October up until December.
During the rain season, from October to December, rainfall is nevertheless not very heavy, with the wettest month being November. Cyclones are rare, but the island can experience tropical storms. During this short period, temperatures stay above 86°F, reaching 91°F in the month of October. Minimum temperatures go from 78°F, while the sea temperature can easily reach 84°F. It is an excellent time to go snorkelling in translucent waters in search of lagoons and coral reefs which are homes to exceptional underwater wildlife.
From January to September, the period considered as being the dry season, there is a larger amount of sunshine. Temperatures are always higher at between 86°F and 91°F and the sea water remains pleasantly warm at between 78°F and 84°F. For a trip to Bonaire, the months running from January to June are perfect for getting the most out of the sunshine and beaches. It is the ideal time to discover the magnificent underwater reserve and snorkel among various tropical species.
Thanks to its consistent temperatures, Bonaire is a destination to be enjoyed at any time of year. Scuba diving can easily be done all year round due to the constantly warm water, even if the months running from January to June are still the most widely recommended to enjoy the plentiful sunshine, ideal for sunbathing on fine sand beaches.
